In this short video Jay Nicholas explains the how to, and why to, of creating your own dubbing blends. Jay uses a variety of Hareline dubbings including, Hare-Tron Dub, Hareline Dub, Ice Dub and STS Trilobal Dub. Finding the best dubbing blend for your fly pattern can take some experimentation, but when you find that unique blend that really is different and the fish notice, your efforts are rewarded. Grab your coffee grinder and give it a try.–CD

I’ve been using an old coffee grinder for this for years. I’ve even ground up little bags of desiccant I’ve saved, these are the packages that sometime come with food that say “Do Not Eat,” in order to save on dry fly shake. Sorry Chris. One suggestion made by Cal Bird, who first tied the Bird’s Nest, is to mix equal amounts of red, green, blue yellow, orange and purple, to match the color spectrum. Then add about 10 percent of this mix to your regular dubbing. I don’t know if it works, but I keep some of this on my tying table.
No, grab your wife’s coffee grinder.
